I’ve received several emails from fans inquiring whether or not GameStop is providing a Fallout 3 CD with pre-orders for the game. The answer? Yes, yes we are. With a pre-order of the game, fans are given a 5-track disc with “featured selections” from the soundtrack, along with a Brotherhood of Steel poster.

GameStop should have started receiving their stock of this pre-order giveaway late last week, so if your local GameStop doesn’t have them yet, they’ll probably have them in a few days. I’d venture to guess that GameStop’s website will show the offer sometime soon.

We included the front and back sleeve designs for the soundtrack — to get a better look, click on the images to enlarge them. Below is the back sleeve design for the disc. You can see it includes three songs licensed from the 1940’s, as well as two tracks from the game’s composer, Inon Zur.

Awesome!!! You guys are the BEST game company around! This kind of stuff is the best sort of thing to bridge that burning desire for Fallout 3. I can’t wait for the goodies in the Collectors Edition! I just talked to my Gamestop people, and they have the soundtracks in! I’m picking mine up in the morning!!! Thanks a million Bethesda!

Will the full soundtrack come along with either version of the game on a separate disc?

I think a lot of games with great soundtracks miss opportunities to do so, as a lot of people end up using PC apps to rip out audio and encode/leak it on the net themselves.

Oh, and I know you guys didn’t do the PS2 Fallout, but I was listening to the new Meshuggah today and it totally sounded like some great tunes to play while playing some Fallout 3. Here’s praying for a future patch for PS3 version to have custom music…

This is Gamestop (Maybe EB as well) exclusive. Online or in-store. Both CE and regular. Existing pre-orders or new ones. It is a 5-track CD I picked up today and a folded poster. Hope that answers it all.

Too bad Gamestop didn’t get the Survival Edition. It’s strange because they usually get all the best stuff. I’ll just have to get the soundtrack and poster then return the CE game I have reserved because I’m getting the SE. I must Survive! Lol.

Ummm, I pre-ordered online through Gamestop – the only reason I did was to get the pre-order goodies (IE the CD). Now they tell me they “cannot guarantee” I will receive the CD as “supplies are limited”(!). This seem unethical at best and fraudulent at worst – their website clearly implies pre-orders will receive this item. I wouldn’t have pre-ordered and spent the extra money on S&H if I wasn’t going to get the pre-order extras. Is there anyway I can get this CD? I really don’t want to get ripped paying $10 on Ebay for a promo item…
